Short and sweet thanks!

I hear you! Thanks for the input!

Good to know, thanks!

Thanks for adding your two cents, Kate!

Heard! Thanks Becky!

Thank you for giving such a thoughtful and nuanced perspective, Marquita!

Thank you! The last thing I want is for Foxsy to become yet another place where people polarize further. You’ve got some very strong points.

Thank you for such a thoughtful response, Danette!

Thank you so much for giving your perspective! I agree; making art is already an act of defiance in systems that benefits from grinding us down. That is a very good point.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!

Yes, I imagine you are quite worn down with all the chaos unfolding. Thank you for sharing your perspective, it means a lot. Thinking of all of you up there in the midst of it ♥

I really appreciate everything you’ve brought up here. I won’t make any big moves immediately to make an opt-in forum, but we are looking at fortifying general community guidelines so we’re all on the same page.

That being said, if you ever want to submit political art privately in Creative Support (https://staging2.foxsy.com/creative-support/),…

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this issue!

Solid point to consider!

You bring up a really good angle that I think I will address; the guilt of making art when there is so much happening on the world stage. Thank you, Glenda!

That doesn’t sound weak, it sounds relatable. It truly IS exhausting seeing such charged stuff everywhere online. Thank you for sharing your two cents!

Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Zoie!

I appreciate that you see where my question is coming from. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful response!

Thanks for your perspective!

That’s a good point, thanks for bringing it up!

Alright, wow! Thank you everyone for voicing your opinions and being so thoughtful about it all!

What I’m hearing is a lot of “no thanks!”. I appreciate y’all seeing where I’m coming from and meeting me at this weird position. While some of you use art to process and make sense of the world, many of you use art (at least, here at Foxsy) to take…

Hey everyone. I wanna talk about something serious for a second.

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that things are politically tense here in the United States. It’s been tense for a while, but it feels like events are escalating and speeding up since the start of the new year.

Since we started Foxsy, I have tried very hard to avoid…

This is a fun piece, I love the colors Your skills are already visibly improving!

Oof, same. My camera gallery is bananas.

This is a brilliant solution to such a classic problem! And you also have the added benefit of technically being “offline” when you’re in the folder (as opposed to a scroll on a site), meaning you’re much less likely to get distracted.

Bravo!

I love that adaptability and pushing through discomfort! That’s exactly how you grow!

Procreate is definitely a tough one to learn; but once you get it figured out, it’s wildly powerful! If you want to check out a class on digital lettering, it will tell you tons of tips and tricks to help you get a handle on Procreate:

Today I painted the tippity top of a mountain!

I’m absolutely loving the colors and the wet on wet effect here. These look SO GOOD.

Psst I’m super late to reply to this, but I’m really really glad you’re here

I see a style developing here. You’re onto something.

Also, you especially NAILED the face on the bottom left; The fur, expressive eyes, and ears are all on point.

AHHH these are fantastic!! The drawings have such character!

Great job capturing those childlike proportions! The hair also is particularly nice. Great job, I’m loving these drawings!!

This looks lovely! The clothing construction and shading look marvelous. The body positioning, weight distribution, all of it feels believable and grounded. Great work

I finally finished another painting for my Where is Home series!

I forgot to post yesterday’s, so here’s two Sketch Sessions!

I’m surprised how well this Volcanic Plug study turned out! I thought the vulture was a nice touch.

Great job, Danette! I’m so glad you’re having fun with the workbook Keep approaching it with this playful can-do attitude and you’ll be miles along with your lettering in no time!

This is a BRILLIANT suggestion. Let me look at getting some kind of system together to make that run, but I think we can have that up and running pretty soon. Thank you!!!

Ok I am IN LOVE with this painting! I went over time by 15 minutes, but it was so worth it.

I get it! I’ve had many times where I’ve been stuck in the blank page fear. I think we can find some tricks to help you come at it sideways and bypass that anxiety. Let’s make it happen!

This is a great set of goals! Keeping it realistic while still pushing for a bit of growth is the sweet spot. Let’s see if we can make these happen for you!

Did a rock cluster today and had fun with the colors!

The best advice I can give is to use those supplies! Growth only comes from action, and the playing with art supplies is a brilliant way to learn more, faster. Getting to know the feel of new materials is a huge step toward feeling confident and curious for what’s next!

Today I tried my hand at painting a mesa plateau!

This is awesome!!! I love that you do two of each doodle. What a great way to literally double your practice and get some fun coloring subjects. Great line art and colors, these look great!

Rock on, Danette! Congrats on the new markers, that is delightful! Is this on a foam faux brick surface? It looks like a really fun project!

That’s a good one! Walking is soooo good for you, and it’s easy to let it go by the wayside.

That is a brilliant suggestion for a class or workshop! Consider it noted!
